To recap
If you’ve been thinking about buying a full-frame DSLR but have been waiting for some of the more modern technologies – touchscreen control, a vari-angle screen, Wi-Fi sharing and so forth – then the 6D Mark II does a grand job. For many it will fulfill every need at a far lower price than buying a 5D Mark IV, which gives this full-framer considerable appeal.
